Masdar Initiative: A Green Powerhouse in the Desert

MASDAR
Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company is a multi-faceted,multi-billion dollar  investment in the development and commercialization of innovative technologies in renewable,alternative,and sustainable energies and sustainable design. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber is the CEO and in charge of implementing the vision. Masdar is a highly strategic initiative with four primary objectives. The first is to help drive the economic diversification of Abu Dhabi. The second is to maintain,and later expand ,Abu Dhabi's position in evolving global energy markets. The third is to position their country as a developer of technology. The fourth is to make a meaningful contribution towards human development. A message from the Chairman " A new era is now upon us, challenging us to venture beyond the achievements of the past and lay ground work for the next 50 years of progress."

I maintain it is the forward thinkers of the world that look at visions 50 to 100 years out  will do more to sustain our way of living for us and the children of the world. History, has always been a gauge to not repeat mistakes. It is time we put forward thinkers in charge of  global companies not just people who watch the next quarter results on wall street.
